Guest guest Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 What a lot of advice doesn't take into consideration is exactly how whole grains are demonstratably not good for you. Whole grains elevate glucose and insulin, which results in reduced metabolic rate and can eventually result in the chronic low HGH relase and othe factors of metabolic syndrome (syndrome X). In shutting down HGH release it thus suppresses anabolic growth of lean tissue, cell division and repair including immune cells and glands such as the thymus gland, the seat of immune response. Insulin elevation forces the body into fat storage mode, increases cortisol the stress hormone, and directly reduces the immune response by about 1/2 for around five hours with each helping. Touble is, many people do this to themslves more often than evey five hours and every day. Whole grains, like any starch source, ferment in the gut; in people with a degree of bad bowel bacteria -- dybiosis and candida -- this causes a rise in toxin load and chronic bowel lining iritation and of course propagates the dysbiosis. Dysbiosis is behind all of the candida and 96% of iritable bowel syndrome, Crohn's disease, and ulcerative colitis cases. Here is the science: http://members.shaw.ca/duncancrow/inulin_prebiotic_probiotic.html I help to cure these cases all the time; part of my advice is to not eat whole grains or any other sugar or starch. There are better ways to get adequate carbs, the mineral and vitamin content, and vastly higher fiber too. If you follow an anti-candida diet, which is rich to the extreme in vegetables and quite a few fruits, you don't need any carb- heavy foods to meet your caloric requirement, and you get closer to the fiber content that would prevent dysbiosis and bowel cancer. Here's a specific peer-reviewed study that is reveals much on this particular point: http://paleobioticslab.com/evolution_fibre_colorectalcancer.htm .... and note this photo of 5,500 year old human poo (coprolites): http://paleobioticslab.com/images/evolut1.jpg That we need " more fibre " , in this context is I think a rank understatement; It's almost like you could make rope out of it There are two main candida groups; this is the one I prefer because discussion of the science behind it is not curtailed. This is the largest group because proper science with references is appreciated over the " shut up and trust me " approach of the other group; in fact we also pick apart the shortfalls and dangerous advice in the other group's approach, also using scientific references to show where they're wrong. candidiasis/ Duncan Crow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
